It's been a long time since we were in Belgium.

Specifically in Brussels---------Brussels was using foreign drivers not Belgians to take fares and manage the
trams that went up and down the streets of Brussels.

We stayed at a Pension and was told we could ask for a transfer with no extra cost. When we did so
the driver cussed us out in his language for being American.

A Gentleman, Belgian,who got on at the same stop------- heard the conversation and came forward
and told the driver to comply. Then he , the gentleman apologized in English to us.

And, said that Belgium has started hiring these foreigners who are extremely
rude to everyone.

Your message sparked that memory.
